It looks as though AT&T is slowly
starting to come around with Android-based smartphones. Earlier this
week, we told you about the budget-friendly
HTC Aria that is coming to AT&T with a price tag of $129 with
a two-year contract.

”Add up Captivate’s amazing screen,
huge amounts of onboard storage, a super-fast processor, all fueled
by the nation’s fastest 3G network and a nationwide Wi-Fi
network and you get a smartphone we know our customers will crave,”
said Jeff Bradley, AT&T Mobility Senior VP of Devices.

“The Captivate represents a new breed
of smartphone that will truly change and enrich the way consumers
interact with their device on an everyday basis.”

AT&T won't give any firm
availability or pricing information on the Captivate other than to
say that it will be released within the "coming months at AT&T
retail locations."
